My daughter watched this as she's madly into anime and manga. I'm informed this is the 3rd version, at least, of this fillum.
Not quite. This is the first live action version, and there was one cinematic release of an anime film in 1995, a straight-to-video sequel, and a TV series. ClockworkCupcake said:

You do think that the animators of Jessica were just having over the top gun though. The dirty perverts 
They edited out the little easter egg involving Jessica (a couple of frames in the car scene) once it was discovered.Animators in general did have a habit of sneaking dirty little extras in to keep themselves entertained.

I appreciate I'm 2 years behind on this one.
I understand what's going on, but I don't see any plot really. And there's some glaring "suspension of disbelief" and just plain old fashioned "err OK" throughout
At the end, it felt like it was set up for a sequel
Not as good as I hoped, interesting idea though. 6/10
The drug is debunked here.

HUnt for Red Oktober on now...ace film, just had the bit in the trench, had me holding my breath. 
One for the "what annoys me with this film" category. The seemingly untrained sonar operator sitting next to Seaman Jones who knows nothing about the sonar system in front of him or about how sonar works or in fact anything at all, I'm surprised he hasn't been told what a submarine is. The US Navy does not appear to give any training before letting their sailors loose on millions of dollars worth of death machine.

Kong : Skull Island. What a load of s
te. Started off fairly promising then just turned into a complete CGI fest with no real story - ok, I suppose it was never going to be anything else, but still...3/10 don't bother.
I think when casting they had issues casting a 100ft gorilla that could adequately get across the emotions and gestures needed on demand. That and the associated other larger 'made up monsters' I believe meant the use of fairly decent CGI. This is all assumption, I don't work in the biz.te. Started off fairly promising then just turned into a complete CGI fest with no real story - ok, I suppose it was never going to be anything else, but still...3/10 don't bother. don't mind the CGI as such, as it was pretty well done, but at least have some element of a decent story behind it, other than land on island, then get back off it again cos there's a big gorilla and some lizards on it.And as for the part where a bloke throws a cigarette on the floor which causes a huge explosion because of the gases in the air, but 2 minutes later in the same spot they get their flamethrowers out because 'f
k yeah!', well that was the point my mind started to wander...Fag explosion had used up all the gas.... (?)
I'd suspended belief the moment 10 copters go oo-rah into a storm and didn't hit each other
So..massive monkeys, and assorted beasties get accepted as ok after that.
Its not built in our universe
Its built in it's own..'monster universe'
I mean none of this would happen really anyway as Batman would've sorted it all out...or his predecessor..

Suburra 9/10
Review copied from Amazon as (a) I am too lazy to write one, and (b) it is pretty spot on.
Cracking (subtitled) film, the blonde had fantastic norks

An Italian neo-noir thriller about organised crime in modern day Rome. Gritty, violent, explicit and enthralling, it depicts the semi-fictional events of a single week building up to its ultimate ‘apocalypse’. Suburra pulls absolutely no punches in its depiction of brutal, street level intimidation and corruption among politicians and the clergy at the highest level.
The narrative follows half a dozen key characters whose seemingly separate storylines collide with lethal consequences. The first half hour of this subtitled, two-hour movie is a little bewildering as we meet the old-school mafioso; the angry, tattooed young gangster; his junkie girlfriend; the sleazy politician who loves to party hard; the gypsy loan-sharks, the high-class call-girl and the fixer who provides the parties. A scheme to turn a run-down seaside area into a new Las Vegas unites this chaotic cascade of greedy, callous and cruel characters. As the plot threads pull the protagonists inexorably together, Suburra delivers nothing short of unpredictable intensity. You never quite know where the next punch is coming from.
This is not a tale of redemption or retribution. It’s a scorching portrayal of criminal collusion and violent extremes which fester at the heart of society. The filming is superb: setting acts of extreme cruelty in neon-lit, rain-saturated cityscapes of breath-taking beauty. For a film which majors on blunt force trauma, Suburra can be astonishingly subtle. One single scene paints the young thug’s dream of an imagined skyline across a rain-spattered window – vividly at odds with the blunt force trauma of a knife fight, or the snarling savagery of a tormented fighting dog.
Seldom will you see a better ‘gangster movie’. Debauched and depraved, outraged at its subject matter, Suburra is five-star entertainment for a mature audience.
